We cats are awfully glad we don't have to vote in Florida this year. What to do, what to do, in the excruciating Senate race there? Support Republican-turned-"Independent" Charlie Crist, or the admirable but fast-fading Kendrick Meek?
Goodness gracious. Charlie Crist. There he was, on "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" last night — the man who only two years ago was desperately vying to be John McCain's running mate — wearing his faux-earnest face and trolling for lefty votes, talking about the people of Florida he loves so much. Ugh. We felt a hairball coming on.
Still and all — as opposed to the hard right and the far left, who demand 110 percent or nothing — those of us who live in the real world, politically, know that sometimes you have to hold your nose and make an unpalatable choice. This is one reason why the parliamentary system has some advantages over the U.S. representative system. (But we have what we have, and that's a subject for another post, anyway.)
So, here's the deal. If we still lived in Florida, we'd walk into that polling place on Tuesday and punch the ballot for Gay Charlie. Anything to keep the monstrous Marco out of the Senate.
But we PURR that we don't have to make that choice.

If Peaches the Cat still lived in Florida also she would also cast her vote for Gay Charlie.
